I'd heard that only the *test* was going to be online, and that you still had to take a local class and shooting portion. The instructor would hand out PINs that allowed you to log onto the test site at your leisure and take the test, as well as electronically submit your application, photos, and fingerprints. No more snail mail for us, and no more manually transcribing info into the system for the DPS. This would a) speed up the process, and b) reduce the personnel requirements to get the job done, thus saving money.

Of course, all of that clearly makes too much sense, and we *are* talking about government entities being involved in the process.
